Apple crostata is an easy variation of apple pie. This open-faced rustic apple tart, sometimes called a galette, has all the flavors of apple pie with less stress.

More apples? Make apple turnovers, apple crisp (gluten free!) or this pumpkin-apple breakfast smoothie.

What is Apple Crostata?

Apple Crostata is a simple version of apple pie — given a fancy Italian name!

If we wanted to use French terms, we’d call it a galette (like this raspberry galette, yum!).

This easy crostata uses from-scratch pie crust and is left open faced, so it’s perfect for apple lovers who want more apple and less crust in their pie.

How to Make Apple Crostata

Similar to homemade apple pie, we start by making the crust.

Combine flour, sugar and salt, then cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Add ice water in very small amounts until the dough is moist and forms a ball.

Roll the dough into a 12-inch round and place it in the pie tin or pan.

Next, make the apple pie filling!

Sprinkle the sliced apples with sugar and flour, then sprinkle with apple pie spice.

Place the apples in the center of the crust.

Fold the edges of the dough over the apple mixture.

The dough won’t cover all the apples like a traditional apple pie — just enough to form a good edge crust to hold all the filling nicely in the pie.

Bake and serve with ice cream, whipped cream, and/or a drizzle of caramel!
